The Board denied the veteran's request for a waiver of overpayment due to it not being timely filed within 180 days following notification.
The deciding factor: The veteran did not submit his request for waiver within the required 180-day period from the date of notice of indebtedness, which was January 9, 1998. The Board found that there was no evidence to support an extension or delay in receipt of the notification due to circumstances beyond the veteran's control.
